workshop, which the School is offering this academic year for the first time.
The University of Minnesota’s Twin Cities campus is located on traditional, ancestral, and contemporary lands of Indigenous people.
Over the past few years, the University has taken steps to recognize this by adopting a land acknowledgement statement, and by hiring Tadd Johnson to serve as the first senior director of American Indian Tribal Nations Relations.
Beginning last fall Johnson, an enrolled member of the Bois Forte Band of Chippewa and a faculty member at the University of Minnesota Duluth, has taught a workshop through the Humphrey School of Public Affairs that examines the unique relationships between Native nations and the state of Minnesota through a public policy lens.
The University of Minnesota s Board of Regents unanimously approved a plan Friday that would provide students who come from families that qualify financially a tuition-free education at all five of their campuses.
According to StarTribune.com, the plan will allow students whose families earn $50,000 per year or less to attend the University of Minnesota Twin Cities campus, University of Minnesota Duluth, University of Minnesota Morris, University of Minnesota Rochester or University of Minnesota Crookston without paying a dime in tuition.
StarTribune.com notes that while students whose families make $50,000 per year or less already have most of their tuition covered by a mix of need-based scholarships and state and federal grants. The new program, which U leaders hope to have in place by this fall, will cover any leftover tuition costs for those students. It will not pay for additional fees or room and board expenses. It is estimated that this new program could benefit as many a

A new study inquires to a previously misunderstood phenomenon occurring between chemical reactions used to create plastics and pharmaceuticals - and this could help chemical manufacturing become more environmentally friendly.
In the production of drugs and plastics, chemical manufacturers often use toxic solvent materials like benzene and alcohol. With the new study, researchers aim to offer new insight into catalytic chemistry and improve existing manufacturing processes. The study is led by members from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, University of Minnesota Twin Cities, and Virginia Tech, publishing their report in the journal Science, February 5.

The researchers are the first to observe metallic lines in a perovskite crystal. Perovskites abound in the Earth s center, and barium stannate (BaSnO3) is one such crystal. However, it has not been studied extensively for metallic properties because of the prevalence of more conductive materials on the planet like metals or semiconductors. The finding was made using advanced transmission electron microscopy (TEM), a technique that can form images with magnifications of up to 10 million. The research is published in Science Advances, a peer-reviewed scientific journal published by the American Association for the Advancement of Science.
The conductive nature and preferential direction of these metallic line defects mean we can make a material that is transparent like glass and at the same time very nicely directionally conductive like a metal, said Mkhoyan, a TEM expert and the Ray D. and Mary T. Johnson/Mayon Plastics Chair in the Department of Chemical Engineering and Ma
